[Verse 1] The distance grows between the shores we guard A sudden frost against a burning heart We watch the border where the embers fade Caught in the promises that we both made [Pre-Chorus] You are the tide that I can never hold I am the fire turning slowly cold We know the reasons why the lines are drawn Two separate shadows waiting for the dawn [Chorus] It hurts to love you from the edge of space To see the longing written on your face But if we touch, the world will burn away So in the dark, we choose to stay We choose to stay [Verse 2] A cooling rain upon a fractured stone We shield the world but we are left alone The bitter sweetness of a secret glance A tragic rhythm in a silent bend [Bridge] I miss you... I miss you... I miss you so much... I'd love so much to touch... Just to touch... But the ground would crack. The sky would burn. So I draw back. [Chorus] It hurts to love you from the edge of space To see the longing written on your face But if we touch, the world will burn away So in the dark, we choose to stay We choose to stay [Outro] For the greater good... The fire cools... The water recedes... We stay.
